Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Thanks Marilyn, I sure hope it goes away soon too. My hands are so raw and feet are sore from it too. The lesions I can live with but its just frustrating. I sound like such a bitch sometimes but I've had this for three months +. You have a great day....Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vera ************************* Subject: Hi all Hello everyone. I just wanted to drop a note and tell all that my surgery went ok and to say thanks for all the prayers.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Belinda, CBGD is about the same as MSA, little difference in symptoms, but a difference in how the brain cells die. Doing your exercises and keeping a positive attitude as well as drinking enough liquids will help you keep movement as long as possible, so don't give up on that. The pain is still usually associated with cramped muscles and there are things to try for muscle cramps and pain. Talk to your doctor about pain relief from cramped muscles. If you want the address to the CBGD list - much like this one, ask and I'll send it to you.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Bill, Thank you. I have joined the cbgd board. I have met some nice people there. There isn't as much posting on that site. I have not met anyone else on there who is sick. I asked the night they had chat time but no one could tell me why. One lady did say it was because she thought it was only for the caregivers to vent their frustrations. I told her to vent all she wanted to because I understood her position. I know it is hard to take care of your loved ones 24/7. I also know it is done because there is a lot of love for your loved one. I told her also that it was good to hear what both sides were feeling. No one wants to be sick and no one wants their loved one to be sick. I have grown a deep affection for all of you so I can't say ok I don't have MSA so I am going to unsubscribe. You aren't getting away from me that easy! I know that some of the ones that do want to unsubscribe can't figure out how to get away from you either! hehe. , you crack me up! I love the message about Duh! read the directions at the bottom of this message or something similar! I have been taking methadone but it does not help the muscle pain so I will call my pain doctor and ask him to give me something for that if he can. I am not sure if neurotin is suppose to be a muscle relaxer or not. I take that also. God Bless, Belinda > > > I just wanted to let you know that the doctor has diagnosed me with > > cbgd.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Belinda, There are a few patients who have posted on the CBGD list in the past. I think one's name is Jim and he is from Mich. if I remember correctly. I am on both lists as there was some question as to what Charlotte had, but I feel it was MSA. We don't mind if you stay here, we have people with all kinds of things here anyway. Be careful of Rose, she can get feisty with that cane, we hope to see her on April 28th at the Moller's.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Belinda, sorry to read you are in pain, you are in our prayers. My 90+ year old great aunt always says " use it - or lose it " .....so keep fighting!!!!! (or as the kids say today, " You GO GIRL " !!! A positive attitude helps, no matter what. When I'm depressed about my dad, my mom kicks my butt, and when she's crying or venting her frustration about my dad being sick, I'm trying to give her encouragement. We all can't be sad at the same time, so we, too, cling to hope for something that will help. Hang in there. I seeded my whole garden today in the 90 degree heat, until my face turned purple. I'm a blonde, so that is NOT an attractive picture, but my zinnias are all in. Dahlias, too, this year. At least I did something today.

We had a thread previously on driving and the use of narcotics which generated some good comments. Your post also asks about disability and the use of pain medication. I received Disability due to Depression and Pain secondary to Pancreatitis. Therefore, disclosing how much and how often I took pain medication was imperative to my case.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Hi , I'm sorry to hear of your current problems and your SSDI status. FWIW, A list of your meds, dosage, and usage could be quite a good contribution for your SSDI case. I would suggest a medical opinion letter stating that the normal med usage for you would be dehabilating from your occupation. Also, if you normally get your scripts filled at the same pharmacy, they can give you a historical printout of all of your scripts to be placed as evidence to the SSDI. As for driving, I don't think that's a problem as the SS office cannot be responsible for your driving, and even if your case goes to the administrative judge level, that individual cannot be responsible for your driving. However, there is also a positive aspect to that issue in that while on heavy narcotic meds, you might state you cannot drive safely and thus cannot depend on getting either to of from a workplace. Good luck in your quest with the SSA office. Best wishes, Poncho - GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
